The air still trembled from the impact of Evan's colossal punch. Dust spiraled into the sky. Stones cracked beneath his feet as he stood there, shoulders heaving, his arm lowered after delivering the most powerful strike of his life.
But something didn't feel right, there was no scream. No crash of a broken body.
Only silence, And in that silence… something moved.
A whisper in the wind, before Evan could even draw his next breath, a sharp presence appeared behind him—quiet, cold, and far too close.
Like a ghost stepping out of the shadows, Jake reappeared.
Unharmed, But not just unharmed—transformed.
His eyes were glowing now, glowing with something far more ancient and far more dangerous. His veins pulsed with silver light, and his aura had twisted into something monstrous.
Jake wasn't the same man anymore.
He had sacrificed himself… to the Titan Whale.
